We invest for the long-term by partnering with management.
Dubin Clark encourages continuity of management and leaves day-to-day operational control with them. Typically, we provide management with a significant equity position. We work together to align incentives and personal growth opportunities.
Growth
Complement a company’s internal growth and supplement with targeted add-on acquisitions.
Our Goal
Maintain each company’s values, independence, and culture. Our goal is to build on what has already been achieved.
Support
Ensure additional capital and expertise are made available to support future growth.
Partnering with Management
Dubin Clark works with business owners to identify a growth path from the start. We partner with management every step of the way on organic and add-on growth initiatives. To complement that partnership, the Firm’s industry and functional expert connections share insights and help develop a plan.
Adding Value
Once the plan is formed, Dubin Clark deploys capital and expertise to transform companies into niche market leaders. We are not involved in the day-to-day operations of our companies; rather, we provide the resources to achieve shared goals.
Closing with Confidence
After companies reach new heights through transformation, Dubin Clark leads management teams through the sale process. With over three decades of growing and selling businesses, we know how to navigate exits with minimum disruption to the business. This allows company leadership to remain focused on running the business and preparing for the next phase.
